DIRECTORS’ REPORT
ANNEXURE C
1. Introduction ICICI Bank Limited (the Bank or ICICI Bank) is a
public company incorporated under the Companies Act, 1956 and licensed as a bank under the Banking Regulation Act, 1949. The Bank has been making annual profits since inception and has been paying equity share dividends in accordance with the guidelines of Reserve Bank of India (RBI) and Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI), Companies Act, 1956, Companies Act, 2013 and Banking Regulation Act, 1949.
This policy documents the guidelines on payment of dividends, and sets out the key considerations for arriving at the dividend payment decision. The Board will have the flexibility to determine the level of dividend based on the considerations laid out in the policy and other relevant developments.
2. Regulatory framework The Bank while proposing equity share dividend will
ensure compliance with the RBI guidelines relating to declaration of dividend, capital conservation requirements under guidelines on Basel III norms issued by RBI, provisions of the Banking Regulation Act, 1949, the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015, provisions of the Companies Act, 2013 and guidelines provided under the section titled “Dividends” in the Articles of Association (AOA) of the Bank.
3. Approval process The Board of Directors of the Bank would take into
account the following aspects while deciding on the proposal for dividend:
a) profitability and key financial metrics;
b) the interim dividend paid, if any;
c) the auditors’ qualifications pertaining to the statement of accounts, if any;
d) whether dividend/coupon payments for non-equity capital instruments (including preference shares) have been made;
DIVIDEND DISTRIBUTION POLICY
e) the Bank’s capital position and requirements as per Internal Capital Adequacy Assessment Process (ICAAP) projections and regulatory norms; and
f) the applicable regulatory requirements
The dividend decision would be subject to consideration of any other relevant factors, including, for example:
• External factors including state of the domestic and global economy, capital market conditions and dividend policy of competitors;
• Tax implications including applicability and rate of dividend distribution tax;
• Shareholder expectations
The decision regarding dividend shall be taken only by the Board at its Meeting and not by a Committee of the Board or by way of a Resolution passed by circulation.
Final dividend shall be paid only after approval at an Annual General Meeting (AGM) of the Bank. Shareholder approval is not required for payment of interim dividend.
4. Utilisation of retained earnings The Bank would utilise the retained earnings for
general corporate purposes, including organic and inorganic growth, investments in subsidiaries/associates and/or appropriations/drawdowns as per the regulatory framework. The Board may decide to employ the retained earnings in ensuring maintenance of an optimal level of capital adequacy, meeting the Bank’s future growth/expansion plans, other strategic purposes and/or distribution to shareholders, subject to applicable regulations.
5. Parameters for various classes of shares Currently, the Bank has only one class of equity
shareholders. In the absence of any other class of equity shares and/or equity shares with differential voting rights, the entire distributable profit for the purpose of declaration of dividend is considered for the equity shareholders.
6. Circumstances under which the shareholders may or may not expect dividend
The Board of the Bank may vary the level of dividend or not recommend any dividend based on the regulatory eligibility criteria for recommendation of dividend, including any regulatory restriction placed on the Bank on declaration of dividend. There may also be obligations that the Bank could have undertaken under the terms of perpetual non- cumulative preference shares or debt capital instruments pursuant to applicable regulations which might prohibit the Bank from declaring dividend in certain circumstances.
The Board of the Bank may vary the level of dividend or not recommend any dividend based on the capital and reserves position of the Bank. The Board may recommend lower or no dividends if it is of the view that there is a need to conserve capital. The Board may recommend higher dividends, subject to applicable regulations, if the capital and reserves position supports a higher distribution to the shareholders.
7. Review The dividend policy of the Bank would be reviewed
annually, or earlier if material changes take place in the applicable regulations.
